2004 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 43 DS

“Margaritaville” is a beautifully kept, single-owner Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 43 DS now resting on the hard at Bert Jabin Yacht Yard in Annapolis. This is the desirable two-stateroom and two-head layout with the sought-after large centerline aft stateroom, the shoal draft keel, and in-mast furling that Jeanneau owners appreciate for comfortable and easy cruising. The owners loved this boat so much that they founded the Jeanneau Sailboat Owners Group on the Chesapeake Bay, and after many years of wonderful cruising, they have decided it is time for someone else to enjoy the boat as much as they have.
